Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

The Cleveland Browns should pursue Jamaican track prodigy, Usain Bolt.  The obvious reason would be because he would clock a great 40-yard dash time at the combine.  Can you imagine getting this guy the ball in the open field? Now, for the beef of my presentation.  He is no worse than what ...

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

It's no wonder Brett Favre is always banged up...who does he think he is?  Hercules?  Anyway, it looks like Minnesota is probably going to have Favre in a purple outfit by the time the regular season starts.  Like sands through the hourglass.  Here are some great stories from other sites: MoonDog ...

Warner Fusselle, An Interview With A Legend Of Baseball

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Warner Fusselle is not flashy or boastful about what he has had a chance to do in his life.  Fusselle hosted 'This Week In Baseball' after Mel Allen and had a weekly show on ESPN.  His current role as radio announcer for the Brooklyn Cyclones is tiring, but he enjoys it.  ...
